Per wikipedia, MacNeill was promoted to Colonel in 1923.
O Mac said:
In that Wikipedia bio it says he was "Anti-British and a heavy drinker, he was academically very bright but lacked common sense"....

stern looking fellow.

MacNeill was also the first president of the Organisation of National Ex-Servicemen and Women. I've added that detail to the Wikipedia article that Niall McAuley references. In the same article I've tagged the text that O Mac has quoted (seems unsettlingly like someone's opinion for an encyclopedic entry....) [PS: Sorry to hear about A&E visit Mary - hope all's well today!]
National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
Thanks guys! Given that the Wikipedia article suggests a date of birth c.1900, one imagines this is (at least) in the latter-half of our 1914-1923 range. (Certainly the moustache would seem to rule out the first-half of the range - on the basis that his luxurious moustache is beyond a typical 13 or 14 year-old :) ) So as Niall McAuley implies, it could very well be around the time of a promotion in his mid-20s. Any military buffs our there today who might be able to interpret the rank insignia on display?
